Which Thumb Grip for Fujifilm X100V and X100V? | JJC, Haoge, YC Onion, Lensmate

[@biondiwiyono5431]

I got the JJC in black, and the finishing quality looks to be much better than the silver one you had in the video. The black one has a soft paint and it matches my black X100F extremely nicely. Overall, very satisfied.

[@Tech4Baba]

Good to know! Thanks for watching and sharing, Biondi! What other accessories do you use on your X100V?

[@biondiwiyono5431]

@@Tech4Baba I'm also using JJC's UV filter ring (just to protect the lens from accidental scratches) and moment's cinebloom filter for night street photography 😀

[@Tech4Baba]

@Biondi Wiyono Yeah, I want to try out different filters next!

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

Thank you for this! I'm also trying to pick the best option. I've got the JJC here now. There are actually 2 versions from JJC. I've ordered the second version as well to compare. What I don't like about the JJC is the fit in the hot shoe is so bad/loose and the grip is so long I essentially leverage it out of the hotshoe a bit in a very short time. As you've said access to the shutter speed wheel is important. I've had lensmates in the past and I'm not sure I love the idea of having to move it to use the rear wheel (it'd be fine for the shutter). But I've alway been impressed with their products in the past. The onion seems like it needs to be just a tad wider to give better access to the rear wheel, then the "grip" needs to go down not up so it doesn't make the camera taller? These things already make the camera thicker but I can't deal with thicker AND taller...

I tried a few too. Best for me is also lensmate thumbgrip Best body grip I have found is the JJC grip for the X100v. Cheers 👍

[@eagleeyephoto8715]

Tried few of them and found that Lensmate and squirehood one works best. Squarehood dumb up is probably the best with one flaw, there is no silicon path in the end of the rest, thus camera will get marks when pushing hard on the thumb rest.

[@Tech4Baba]

Thanks for watching and sharing, eagleeye photo! Will check out the Squarehood one. Which one did you end up with?

"Five Sixteenth of an Inch" I never get bored of the Imperial System 😂

[@JoeLopez]

Great comparison video! I’ve been using Lensmate grips on my X100 cameras for years!

[@Randuski]

The hinge can't be stated enough. I fidget, and cocking the lensmate is too fun. Sometimes i cock it like it's a film camera. It's twice as expensive, but they always make the best ones.

[@Randuski]

@@karlj.4798 is there a Fuji film brand one now? Haha

[@karlj.4798]

Sorry... there is a fujifilm thumb grip for the xe4 not the X100v..

[@pault5947]

I wonder how long the lensmate would last before the lever became sloppy

[@latinimagecl]

Hey, where do I get that ruler of yours (in this video) is driving me crazy? Please, advise. Thank you!

[@gabrielwong1833]

Hey I have that ruler too!!!😁 (great video btw, thank you for this! This helps as I wait for the X100V to get back into stock...)

[@Tech4Baba]

Cool, love that ruler! Thanks for watching, Gabriel! I got mine refurbished from Fuji, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWnYg3uGfMllfJY. Hope one becomes available for you soon!

[@gabrielwong1833]

@@Tech4Baba Thank you!! Hope so too 😁 Cheers!!

[@hameed]

Are you using a stock tracker? I got a random email last week that the x100v was in stock at 1am at Amazon.

[@anida_break]

I couldnt get mine off. Help? 😢

[@小孟-z1v]

I havent seen that NVIDIA ruler since i lost mine, hold onto it!

[@Tech4Baba]

Sorry to hear. Yeah, I love the ruler! Hope you can get another one. Thanks for watching, 小孟!

[@ВладиславПопов-п3ш]

Thank you! your video helped me a lot! ❤

[@FfortheT]

Very useful, thank you!

[@iamrichlol]

JJC Grip falls off easily. I lost mine when on a vacation. I honestly don't trust any of these grips, though I have a Lensmate thumbgrip for my xpro3 and it never budges at all

[@near170]

I have the question? I wanna buy X100f thumb grip Lensmate for my X100V. It fit? Many thanks

[@dominiquepacini6679]

Magnifique...

[@rolandgasser6711]

Lensmate is the very best!

[@thomessd]

I disagree with your test, because you completely forgot to give an eye how to access the exposure compensation dial. I think which thumb grip you should choose, depends on your shooting style. For example I nearly always shoot in aperture mode with auto ISO and auto speed enabled. So I have no need to access the ISO and speed dial. But access to exposure compensation is elementary for my. So the Haoge is my way to go, YC is to bulky, JJC blocks the dial and Lensmate is way to expensive. Hint: If I need faster shutter speed, I choose Auto ISO slot 2 with faster predefined shutter speed.

[@Randuski]

Thumb grip prevents you from accidentally spinning dials, but imo lens mate always wins. You can get to everything easily, and they just feel so much better

Lensmate 100%
